My thoughts: it is possible to have NPOV-lists with POV-sounding titles: as example, List of major opera composers is a featured list. The methodology there is a good model: compile ten external, reputable lists of Major Opera Composers and those who appear on the majority of those lists appear on the Wikipedia list. That seems to work quite well, and it reflects existing scholarship in this area accurately.
So, it might be worth seeing whether something similar could work with this List of Tall Men. Is this at al possible?
Alternatively, something to think about might be a list of World Record Holders for height, or something similar. But the current arbitrary definition of x.y metres is not really acceptable. Arbitrary definitions are original research.
Cheers,
Moreschi
